ANDREW WALKER AND MARGARET CLUNIE EMBARK ON A THRILLING AND BEE-UTIFUL ADVENTURE IN "FOR LOVE AND HONEY" A NEW, ORIGINAL MOVIE PREMIERING JUNE 1, ON HALLMARK CHANNEL

Shot on Location in Malta

Part of the Network's Passport to Love Programming Event

STUDIO CITY, CA - May 21, 2024 - Andrew Walker (Three Wise Men and a Baby, Curious Caterer Mysteries) and Margaret Clunie (Victoria, Andor) star in For Love and Honey a new, original movie premiering Saturday, June 1 (8 p.m. ET/PT), on Hallmark Channel. Kicking off the network's Passport to Love programming event, the movie shot entirely on location in Malta.

Austen (Walker) is an American archeologist following a lead in Malta in hopes of securing a project that will guarantee his tenure. Eva (Clunie) is a local Maltese beekeeper who has followed in her later mother's footsteps in running her family apiary. When a "bee-mergency" leads Eva to the local library, she and Austen discover that the spot where the hive is hiding just might hold the clues to a major local archaeological mystery. Though Austen is convinced of the find's importance, the bees are nationally protected and he is only permitted to continue studying the location under Eva's watch. Though Eva is initially reluctant to help Austen, who has demonstrated an aversion to bees, her knowledge of the island turns out to be exactly what Austen needs to research this new find. As Eva helps Austen, he gains a new appreciation for the ecological and cultural significance of the bees she has devoted her life to and they begin to fall in love. However, it turns out that the biggest thing standing in their way might just be history.

For Love and Honey is from Hallmark Media. Oneida Crawford and Colin Azzopardi are executive producers. Jesse Prupas is producer. Kevin Fair directed from a script by Michelle Ricci based on a story by Caitlin D. Fryers.
